Li Tie caught Li Yu's keys, a brilliant smile appearing on his face. He said with a laugh, "Alright, Brother!"
Li Yu smiled. He looked back and saw that everyone had already loaded their belongings onto the vehicles.
Li Tie drove the Unimog off-road vehicle, while Li Yu drove another truck, instructing the others to drive all the vehicles they had brought back.
On this trip, there were about 10 people who could drive. Excluding the 6 vehicles they had driven out, they could all be driven back with this allocation.
In this apocalypse, any useful materials, if they could be collected quickly, should definitely be collected first.
"Big Brother, I've loaded all their tools onto the vehicle," Li Gang said to Li Yu.
On this trip, they found some usable items in this huge factory, including tools and some equipment.
However, they did not enter the cafeteria. All the equipment in the cafeteria seemed to be under a spell; those items were all stained with human blood and corpses.
They also did not take any personal belongings of the Salvation Army because they had a certain aversion to such things.
Li Yu nodded, then told everyone to drive off.
The sun was setting, and it would still take some time to get back.
They needed to hurry back.
The convoy headed towards Xin City.
The convoy drove in a single file, which allowed for more driving space. Li Yu was at the very back, and Li Tie drove the Unimog at the very front.
Li Tie was a big fan of RVs. Since the apocalypse broke out, he had always maintained a relatively reliable and steady image, but today, seeing this Unimog, he was like a child.
Li Yu was also very happy to see his cousin like this.
The vehicles drove towards the light, facing the setting sun.
Li Tie, driving at the very front, had a childlike smile on his face. He had known about Unimogs for a long time and had attended some car shows before.
When he first saw this vehicle, he was deeply captivated. It was too cool.
The high price of this vehicle had made him completely give up on the idea, but he never expected that he would actually be able to drive it and bring it back to the base after the apocalypse broke out.
The entire journey was joyful.
Da Pao held the steering wheel with one hand, and with the other, he held a cigarette between his index and middle fingers. He opened the car window, and the wind rushed in. Da Pao took a puff of his cigarette, then rested his hand half-dangling out the window.
The wind smoked half the cigarette in his hand, and he smoked the other half.
Song Min, driving behind, saw the vehicle Da Pao was driving and his outstretched hand, her eyes somewhat complex.
Further behind, Li Hang was happily unwrapping a newly distributed cigarette with one hand while driving. After thinking for a moment, he still didn't open it.
The vehicles continued to drive towards the base.
With 10 vehicles, the convoy was quite a large target. Li Yu kept observing his surroundings, checking for any hidden survivors.
Occasionally, he would check the rearview mirror for any followers.
There was no conversation along the way.
In the quiet journey, everyone's emotions were a bit different.
Having killed so many people, they surprisingly felt no pressure at all, especially Li Hang, who now felt completely normal. His mind was even thinking about what good food there would be when he got back home tonight.
He was thinking about continuing to play the single-player game at home when he got back tonight, because he was close to beating it.
He had been stuck on this level for several attempts, but these past two days, while playing, he suddenly got a feel for it, and progress was smooth.
The other girls, on the other hand, were thinking about having a good shower at the base tonight. Today was too tiring.
They had traveled so far, and earlier at the factory, they faced immense pressure: killing, killing, killing.
Especially after entering the cafeteria, they witnessed a scene that shattered their worldview.
It was truly devastating.
Time slowly passed.
There were no other incidents on the road.
The apocalypse had broken out for over half a year, and Li Yu had always adhered to one principle: to develop cautiously, never to provoke others, but to resolve any potential crisis at the first moment.
He was well aware that even five years after the apocalypse broke out, there were no particularly large groups.
That was because the apocalypse was truly the apocalypse.
It wasn't just zombies. There were also natural disasters. Under the double blow of natural disasters and the apocalypse, the development of forces was extremely difficult.
Especially the heavy rains, and after the heavy rains, there was extremely high temperature weather. Next, it was estimated that high temperature weather would arrive.
Lack of land, lack of water, lack of food.
Especially the lack of food; without stable food, it would be impossible to support enough people, let alone expand into a very large force.
No.
Therefore, Li Yu's goal was very clear from the beginning.
He was not a savior, nor was he a great man. He didn't want to save all of humanity; he didn't want to sacrifice himself for the greater good.
He didn't want to be a hero to all mankind.
He only wanted to cultivate his own small plot of land, and only wanted to be a hero who protected his family.
If you can't even protect your own family, yet you talk about saving humanity...
Li Yu once watched a movie called "A Better World," which advocated facing school violence with gentleness.
When facing violence, do not resist, do not fight back.
Because if you fight back, you will be as much of a scumbag as that scumbag.
For the world to become better, people are advised to be tolerant.
Damn it.
Li Yu couldn't help but complain when he thought of this disgusting plot.
Why? Why can't you fight back when you're hit? And then you endure this bullying, constantly convincing yourself, while the person bullying you will never realize their mistake.
In fact, they might never realize their mistake in their entire life.
And you, because of being humiliated, might live under that shadow your entire life.
Every time you recall the scenes of being bullied, your heart is tormented.
Why are good people always bullied?
If it were before the apocalypse, under any circumstances, do not be too arrogant, do not bully those who have less than you. Because they can abandon everything at any time to take your life.
The rope breaks at its thinnest point, and sickness targets the unfortunate. It is a tragedy.
If there were no thousand-pound burdens on their shoulders, who would gamble today for tomorrow! That is also a tragedy.
And these two tragedies are always borne by the same kind of people.
This is the greatest tragedy.
However, in any era.
There are commoners, and when a commoner gets angry, blood spills three feet!
The former Li Yu was a kind, gentle, harmonious, and quiet person.
Until, in the apocalypse, amidst the killing, he suddenly realized: 'You're going to die anyway!'
Yes, you're going to die anyway, so what is there to fear?
Life has length, and it also has quality.
So, Li Yu figured it out: any potential crisis must be eliminated and resolved.
If anyone dared to morally blackmail him, he would fight back.
If you are in darkness, you are not afraid of darkness.
If you are darker than darkness, you are not afraid of any difficulties.
His killing intent was strong, and his malevolence was also strong. His heart was even colder, even somewhat ruthless.
With the readiness to face the worst outcome, he was not afraid of the destruction of the universe.
He only wanted to protect his family and the people in the base.
That was enough.
